My sister got tickets to a Death Cab for Cutie concert on August 2 at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and invited me to go. The venue was an outdoor theater in Griffith Park.
The Greek Theatre thanked us for visiting.
We got there before the gates were even opened, and bought merch with no line. I got a t-shirt and tote bag!
The opening act was Nation of Language. They did a nice set.
Death Cab played songs from their newest album, I Built You a Tower, but also a good variety of songs from their back catalog.
